Ride pt.1 02:25
Ride Pt. 1 Come take a ride with me Come take a ride with me Look deep inside of me Come on get high with me Come take a ride with me (on our gray ship) Come take a ride with me (the electronic) Look deep inside of me (isometric) Come on get high with me (isometric isometric)

Start Over (free) 03:28
Start Over I dreamt that we won in the landslide of landslides Built on a fault line and last night was high time for the quake If this is the spot I guess I just thought There’d be something more to lift us up But the space in my shoes is occupied I fell in love here under blankets over eggshells Trading a name for some fate more convenient If this is the spot I guess I just thought There’d be something more than what I got But the space in my head is occupied Is occupied Is occupied I’m falling to god and the worst part of all is I don’t care what I’m falling on I dreamt that we won It was a nightmare A nightmare but then I awoke The morning sun pours over us a light to start over The ties of our lives are coming undone In the light to start over The light to start over
3.
The Last Hundred Years War I have spent my life just watching lilacs growing And I have found in time there’s little use in the knowing Of what turn we took when we went wrong Or how I’d write you a better song If the last hundred years war wasn’t going on Dry your sad eyes and try to look on the bright side The times when we cry are times when we’re most alive But it ain’t easy to say goodbye And I’m not asking you to try But the last hundred years war is flying by I have tried but I can’t lie I still don’t know what turns you on So come inside the firelight I’ll put on your new favorite red record I tried to remember what I lost I found out but I forgot That the last hundred years war The last hundred years war The last hundred years war is being fought
4.
Killer In The Trees A killer in the trees waiting for the season to change Crawling through the leaves And polishing his claws with his teeth And every sour word that you have heard he stirs A lover off the leash lapping up his last lover’s lead He’s hoping that the seeds won’t bury the scent of the scene And every once and a while he looks around, but not now And the killer’s crawling like a criminal on the ground And the lover says I don’t want to fight you I just want to lie here This ain’t the first time I’ve seen you by here I don’t want your money I just want the miles Throw the first born on the fire Now the killer’s looking green he’s never met a lover so lean Or maybe it’s the heat clouding up his killer instinct But something about the lover don’t seem right in his eyes The lover’s love could save a thousand more Than are killed in the killer’s war And the killer screams I don’t want to fight you I just want to lie here This ain’t the first time I’ve happened by here I don’t want your money I just want the miles Throw the first born on the fire Throw the first born on the fire I don’t want your family I just want the files Throw the first born on the fire Save the smooth talk this ain’t the Bible Throw the first born on the fire Throw the first born on the fire Throw the first born on the fire
5.
Under The Radar I don’t know what got into me, oh lord I got lost in my own shoes under the radar And I don’t know what got into you, oh lord You acted like you’d seen a ghost in me so hollow And I just wanted to say I’m sorry I don’t know what got into me, oh lord If you think I lost my cool I think my cool’s worth losing I don’t know what got into me, oh lord I make dives inside my mind I’ve no way of explaining And I just wanted to say I’m sorry I am calling to say I’m sorry I am calling to say I’m sorry I am calling to say I’m sorry I don’t know what got into me, oh lord
6.
Seafoam Shark Twitching muscles and forking tongues Could spit out summertime from winter lungs I got your number from a call-in show With empty ovals where the numbers go Aging eyelids over focused eyes Can make you believe what you’ll know are lies I got your full name from the message you sent With empty ovals where the vowels went in Oh the seafoam shark The seafoam shark The seafoam shark In the seafoam shark When the jeep won’t start Take the seafoam shark The seafoam shark to the seafoam
